I know a couple that are both pharmacist and they kindly loaned me a few old bottles that they have. The little green bottle is a liquid laxative labeled PLUTO. Is that because it will send you to outer space after taking it? The large bottle in the foreground is from the manufacture Mallinckrodt and has a label on the side that is hand dated back in 1957. I'm sure it is past it's expiration date.

About Me

I started this series of small (6” x 6”, 6” x 8”, 5” x 7”) paintings in May 2009 as a daily practice and discipline in order to liberate my work by painting from life in a restricted amount of time. In carefully considering placement, shape and color, I strive to find the essence and beauty of common objects in a fast-paced world that is dominated by electronic gadgets and digital images. It is my hope that people will stop, look and see the dignity and soul of things that are often taken for granted.
Composition and lighting are key elements in the creative design process, allowing me to create a lively and often humorous narrative.
